1、 閱讀理解專題突破練6 第一節(jié) A 體裁:記敘文　　詞數(shù):313　　用時:7分鐘 (2018河北名校聯(lián)盟聯(lián)考) Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”.I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words,because they convey regrets,lost opportunities,mistakes,and disappointment. My father is famous in our family

2、for saying,“Take the extra minute to do it right.”I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule.When my children were young and likely to cause accidents,I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment,whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away fro

3、m the edge of a counter,or something that required a little more work such as taping padding(襯墊) onto the sharp comers of a glass coffee table. I don’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety.It’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships.We all know peop

4、le who lost a loved one and regretted that they had forgone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you”.When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday,I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here.But then I thought abo

5、ut the fact that he was 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t miss an opportunity to see him.I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all. I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something,but my life is definitely better becau

6、se of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality.And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right,or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection,I know that I’m doing the right thing.I’m buying myself peace of mind and th

7、at’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being. 【解題導語】“我”認為英語中最悲傷的兩個詞是“if only”,因為它們表達了遺憾。父親在“我”小時候經常告訴我們花費額外的時間也要把事情做好以避免遺憾,“我”聽從父親的建議并認為這樣做是對的。 1.Why does the writer regard “if only” as two of the saddest words in the English language? A.Because people use them when they feel sad.

8、 B.Because they express regrets and disappointment in life. C.Because they remind the writer of some sad experiences. D.Because they mean sadness in the English language. 答案B 解析細節(jié)理解題。由第一段中的“Two of the saddest words in the English language are ‘if only’...because they convey regrets,lost opportun

9、ities,mistakes,and disappointment.”可知,“我”認為英語中最令人傷心的兩個詞是“if only”,因為這兩個詞表達了后悔、丟失的機會、錯誤和失望,故選B項。 2.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “forgone” in Paragraph 3? A.Given up.　　　　　　　　B.Come across. C.Got through. D.Held back. 答案A 解析詞義猜測題。該詞所在的句子表達的意思是:我們都認識這樣的人,他們在失去所愛之人后會后悔錯失了說“我愛你”或“我原諒你”的機

10、會。所以畫線詞表示“失去”,和短語give up意思接近。故選A項。 3.The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to 　　　.? A.see a doctor B.finish her work C.join a celebration D.accompany her father 答案D 解析細節(jié)理解題。題干中的關鍵信息“decided to go to her office”對應原文中的“I had decided to go to work”,由此定位到倒數(shù)第二段。從倒數(shù)第二段可以看出,“我”知道父親要去自己

11、辦公室對面看眼科醫(yī)生時,本來打算按原計劃休假,但突然意識到父親已經84歲了,所以“我”決定即便是自己的休息日,為了陪父親,也會去上班。故選D項。 4.What is the best title for the passage? A.Advice from My Father B.Avoidance of Saying “If Only” C.The “Extra Minute” Rule D.The Importance of Emotional Well-being 答案B 解析主旨大意題。根據(jù)首尾段的第一句話及文章大意可知,本文主要是針對避免說英語中最傷心的兩個詞“if

12、 only”進行闡述的,所以B項“避免說‘if only’”符合全文內容。 B 體裁:記敘文　　詞數(shù):252　　用時:6分鐘 (2017河北石家莊質量檢測二) Recently I and other Red Cross volunteers met a group of victims from Hurricane Katrina.We were there,as mental health professionals,to offer “psychological first aid” and I was struck by the simple healing power o

13、f presence.As we walked in the gate to the shelter,we were greeted with a burst of gratitude(感激)from the first person we met.I felt appreciated,but also guilty,because I hadn’t really done anything yet. I first realized the power of presence many years ago when a friend’s mother passed away unexpec

14、tedly.I received a call saying she had just passed away.I wanted to rush down there immediately,but didn’t want to intrude(打擾)on this very personal period of sadness.I was torn about what to do.Another friend with me then said,“Just go.Just be there.”I did,and I will never regret it. Since then,I h

15、ave not hesitated to be in the presence of others.Once I sat at the bedside of a young man suffering from the pain of his AIDS-related dying.He was not awake,and obviously unaware of others’ presence.However,the atmosphere was by no means solemn.His family,playing guitars and singing,allowed him to

16、be present with them as though he were still fully alive. In my life,I am repeatedly struck by the healing power of presence.In it,none of us are truly alone.It not only is something we give to others but also changes me for the better. 【解題導語】本文主要講述了“我”通過一些活動意識到“到場”的意義的故事。 5.Why were the hurrican

17、e victims grateful to the author? A.He built shelters for them. B.He gave immediate first aid to them. C.He came to stay with them. D.He brought mental health professionals. 答案C 解析細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段的第二句“We were there, as mental health professionals,to offer ‘psychological first aid’and I was struck

18、 by the simple healing power of presence.”可知,因為在他們受災時“我”和他們在一起,所以他們感激“我”,故C項正確。 6.What did the author do when his friend’s mother passed away? A.He hesitated over whether to go. B.He went to his friend’s at once. C.He knew what to do instantly. D.He decided not to disturb his friend. 答案A 解析細節(jié)

19、理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“I wanted to rush down there immediately,but didn’t want to intrude on this very personal period of sadness.I was torn about what to do.”可知,“我”想要立即去朋友那里,但又不愿意去打擾朋友,據(jù)此可知,當朋友的母親去世時,“我”猶豫是否要去朋友那里。 7.What does the underlined word “solemn” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Heavy but warm. B.A

20、little sad but cosy. C.Relaxing and delightful. D.Very serious and unhappy. 答案D 解析詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句中的“His family,playing guitars and singing”可知,男青年的家人在彈奏吉他并唱歌;結合畫線詞所在句中的“However...no means”和第三段第二句中的“a young man suffering from the pain of his AIDS-related dying”可以判斷,在家人的陪伴下,氣氛并不悲傷和嚴肅,據(jù)此可以判斷,畫線詞意為“嚴肅

21、的”,故D項正確。 8.What has the author learned from his experience? A.A friend in need is a friend indeed. B.Being present can make a big difference. C.The family harmony is the happiest thing in life. D.Being a volunteer can make one’s life more significant. 答案B 解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的前兩句“In my life, I am

22、repeatedly struck by the healing power of presence.In it,none of us are truly alone.”并結合第二段的第一句可知,從自己的經歷中“我”意識到了“到場”的重要意義,故B項正確。 A項意為“患難見真情”,C項意為“家庭和諧是人生最幸福的事情”,D項意為“做志愿者能讓人的生活更有意義”,都與文意不符。 C 體裁:說明文　　詞數(shù):386　　用時:8分鐘 (2017遼寧沈陽教學質量監(jiān)測一) You’ll probably never go to Mars or sing on the stage with th

23、e Rolling Stones.But if virtual reality(VR) ever lives up to its promise,you might be able to do all these things—and many more—without even leaving your home.Unlike real reality,virtual reality means simulating(模仿) bits of our world.Apart from games and entertainment,it’s long been used for trainin

24、g airline pilots and surgeons and for helping scientists to figure out complex problems such as the structure of protein molecules.Then how does it work? Close your eyes and think of virtual reality and you probably picture something like this:a man wearing a wrap-around headset and data gloves wir

25、ed into a powerful workstation or supercomputer.What distinguishes VR from an ordinary computer experience is the nature of the input and output.Where an ordinary computer uses things like a keyboard,mouse,or speech recognition for input,VR uses sensors that detect how your body is moving.And where

26、a PC displays output on a screen,VR uses two screens(one for each eye),surround-sound speakers,and maybe some forms of touch and body feedback as well. VR has been routinely used by scientists,doctors,dentists,engineers,architects,archaeologists,and the military for about the last 30 years.Difficul

27、t and dangerous jobs are hard to train for.How can you safely practice taking a trip to space,making a parachute jump,or carrying out brain surgery?All these things are obvious candidates for virtual reality applications. Like any technology,virtual reality has both good and bad points.Critics alwa

29、 don’t have to use it if you don’t want to. 【解題導語】本文介紹了“虛擬現(xiàn)實”的工作原理、在不同領域的應用以及人們對這一技術的評價。 9.What equipment do we need for virtual reality? A.A keyboard,a headset and a supercomputer. B.A headset,data gloves and a supercomputer. C.A headset,data gloves and a speech recognition. D.A keyboard,a mo

30、use and a speech recognition. 答案B 解析細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第一句中的“...you probably picture something like this:a man wearing a wrap-around headset and data gloves wired into a powerful workstation or supercomputer.”可知,“虛擬現(xiàn)實”所需要的硬件設備有耳機、數(shù)據(jù)手套和超級電腦。故B項正確。 10.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A.The advantages of

31、virtual reality. B.The influences of virtual reality. C.The importance of virtual reality. D.The applications of virtual reality. 答案D 解析段落大意題。通讀第三段可知,第三段最后一句“All these things are obvious candidates for virtual reality applications.”為該段的主題句,據(jù)此可知,該段主要介紹了“虛擬現(xiàn)實”在各個領域的應用,故D項正確。 11.What is the wri

32、ter’s attitude towards VR? A.Cautious. B.Appreciative. C.Doubtful. D.Uninterested. 答案B 解析觀點態(tài)度題。本文第一段介紹了“虛擬現(xiàn)實”的作用;第三段介紹了“虛擬現(xiàn)實”在各個領域的應用;文章最后一句給出了作者的觀點:正如許多技術一樣,“虛擬現(xiàn)實”不會從現(xiàn)實世界中帶走什么,如果你不想用可以不用。據(jù)此可知,作者對“虛擬現(xiàn)實”是欣賞的,故B項正確。 12.According to the passage,virtual reality means 　　　.? A.experiencing things th

39、m always put herself last and the children first.Then I moved away and lived so far from her,but the food that she prepared always stays in my heart,and I always remember the beautiful Chinese plates.
